President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Alma, I have fielded cold calls from police groups, just in the last six months alone. Defunding is accepted as gospel truth by the lunatic wing of the party.
"As you know, our police are being defunded . . ." (verbatim phraseology used)
"No, they're not." Click.

 

Goes to show how unwise the choice of that word was.

 

So I come out of the market the other warm day to find bees swarming my car, couldn't get near it. I called the PD and an officer responds. He suggests leaving it until the temperature cools off, gives me and my groceries a ride home. I get in the back of his SUV and it's a hard plastic seat, not a typical cushion seat. He explains that it's for the bad guys. Anyway. We get to talking and he lives with his young kids in town. I remind him to vote in the Board of Ed election coming up. "I haven't paid much attention, but I'm not pleased about it," he says.

Why, I ask.

"I don't like Common Core, I don't want my kids being taught Critical Race Theory," he said evenly.

"I don't want my kids coming home and telling me they're being taught that they're the oppressors."

I told him CRT, whatever it is specifically, isn't part of Common Core and our district doesn't and has no plans to incorporate it into the curriculum. I asked him what his kids are coming home and telling him.

Nothing, as it turns out. But he repeated the 'oppressors' statement like it was hanging in the balance, but said he didn't want to get into the weeds about it.

Now, there are three candidates for two BOE seats: the longtime white female altruistic member; a Black woman who has said on FB there are too many Jews on the Board, and a Latinx man who wants to ban some books. Hmm...

The bees were gone when I returned for my car an hour later.

 

And the GOP is just a party of bland, selfless public servants like the new Texas Secretary of State:

It’s not Cancel Culture when the perverts and fascists do it

Liz Cheney’s Consultants Are Given an Ultimatum: Drop Her, or Be Dropped

 

The common core of math today makes my head hurt. The multiplication process is bizarre. And we wonder why we're behind.

 

I hope Republicans have a two-seat majority and Kinzinger and Cheney vote for Pelosi (or whoever runs in her place) as a giant fuck you to the rest of them. They’d be kicked out of the caucus afterward, but it’d be worth it.

 

Gym: Because Hillary!

Raskin: <smirks and yields>

 

Only by those who believe MTG and Lauren Boebert. Not by the sane.

 

How do we know that wasn't a post from Fatfuck himself, testing out some Christmas card concepts?
